Product Description

Banana Bunker

Protect delicate fruit from bruising by transporting it in the Banana Bunker, cleverly designed by Paul R. Stremple. The Banana Bunker was displayed in SAFE: Design Takes on Risk, an exhibition mounted by the Museum’s Architecture and Design department in 2005. Dishwasher-safe. Set of 2.

Great idea. I bought mine within the last year. Hadn't used it in awhile, and when I put the banana in it today the accordion-pleated part cracked. The plastic just seems too thin to handle the little folds. Now it's only a matter of time when the crack, which is almost an inch long, will break all the way around. Very disappointed that I wasted my money on something that only lasted a few short months of VERY limited use. I don't think I used it but maybe four or five times -- and that was between the two of them I bought!

We were so excited to see the Banana Bunker as a product my kids love bananas and to take them to the park we need to put them in an oversize storage container. UNFORTUNATELY this product did not work. We tried two different sizes of bananas (organic and non organic) and the bananas did not fit into the bunker without bruising. I am returning this product at my own expense.

The Banana Bunker is a great idea, but it performs poorly. It's made of two clear plastic, curved tubes that are designed to slip over the ends of a banana and, I assume, snap together to protect it. One of the tubes is "pleated" so that it can be shaped to a particular banana's curve. However, I can not manipulate the pleating easily. Also, I cannot get the two pieces to fit together at all, even when there's no banana inside! My partner tried the Banana Bunker too, without any success.
